afternoon, everyone, it was jaba tiem earlier. anyway, first, the good news... electrical works like a champ and pumps definitely push water. now the bad news (which has since been addressed): i still gotta work on my plumbing... anyway, lol, of course it leaked. next steps: got my routing figured out, just needed to decide what I want to use for piping. I have 16mm PTEG, Acrylic, and silver shining plated brass tubing on hand (all Bitspower), and of course the Tygon. Decided on PTEG for now, as it will be the fastest to form and fit properly, so I can (hopefully) get my review done by the deadline:

pookie gets 4090 from me; pookie sells 4090 to finance fixing car; pookie gets deleted.

Another OC.net refugee, went by z390e there. Used to be active on HwBot as the same name but not anymore. Hoping to do a lot of OC discussion with everyone here.

Found some issues with the SATA PWR cable wiring, so I remade them. Also, the spare ATX3.0/GEN5 compliant PSU showed up.

FANTASTIC!

Got the wiring done to the point I should be able to do pending tests for an upcoming review: next up: swap in the z790 apex, run the cooling lines from my normal bench setup, and install windows.
-
yup.

TY! more of the same with a major change back to the atlas II build, hustling to get it ready for review testing (the open air case from Turkey isn't going to work out and really has very limited use cases):
-
Got the HD backplate & CPU installed for upcoming tests. Not looking to do anything fancy here for the time being (e.g., lapping, delidding, etc.), as I need a running GEN5 setup for those upcoming tests. Will now mount the Apex to the bench frame detailed in the previous posts.

replaced the 3mm screws supplied with the bench with some cut down black button caps I've got on hand:

showed up as a puzzle (no instructions), but it's assembled now

Just a suggestion that these discussions probably ought to be limited to internal communications and not front facing. IMHO, that is.

'bench' case is out for delivery today, as is a an item from Crucial. working on the power/gauge panel (fitments for blown fuse led indicators): the soldering station I use: I'm mostly interested in monitoring 12VDC; hence the test points that are tied together by the 'buss' bars toward the left of the panel.

Odds and ends (from WatarCool):

I personally wouldn't recommend using a 1000 watt psu with a 4090, but others might.
-
If something happens to the cables again, you may end up frying that 4090 of yours. The PSU you are using has a single 12V rail and it's very possible that the heat that melted its 18AWG cable(s) also had some impact on the components inside the psu. Just some words of caution I'd recommend replacing the PSU as well, and slowing down a bit and learning how to do the right thing.
